Thank God for the blood patch

I finally got a blood patch today, and it couldn't have come at a better time. I was shaking, nauseous, and in tears because the pain was unbearable.

My threshold of pain is pretty high but this pain was ungodly. Now I'm at home resting and waiting for my LP results appt tomorrow. Hope the rest of you are well!

Laura

I really hate that you have MS but isn't it a relief to finally be DX'ed?  That alone will lower your stress levels... It sure did mine...I don't take any DMD's so I can't help you there but hopefully you will find a good one that works for you...

I'll be praying,
Carol

Thanks Carol!  The appt tomorrow is more for MS treatment options, because the neuro said no matter what the LP says I have MS. I'll take your luck anyway!
